Last month I brought over a company file from Quickbooks for Mac to
Quickbook Windows. It always reconciled on the Mac. Trying to reconcile the
QB Windows file the first time it lists all transactions from the begining
(5 years worth) but I can't find several items from the most recent month.
But it doesn't show the items in a rational order so it;s impossible to
tell.

How do I reconcile?

I'm not a Mac user but I have been told/read numerous times that the
conversion from Mac to windows does not always go as planned. You will need
to identify the missing transactions and enter them. Hopefully it is only
from the most recent month. I would check the bank balance at the end of
each month/quarter/year in the mac version against the windows file. Make
sure those balances match before proceeding with the bank rec.

To reconcile, make a list of the uncleared items in the last month that you
reconciled in the mac system. Treat the windows data as one big month and
start by marking everything cleared through the end of the month. Then go
and unclear those transactions that were not cleared in mac system. If there
are no missing transactions then you should be able to replicate the bank
reconciliation in the mac system.
